7:49 am
approve a stop gap spending today. jamie dupree joins us from washington d.c. this is the budget for 2013 six months late. why the delay? >> reporter: you are absolutely late. five months and 21 days late to be exact. supposed to get it done by october 21st. that doesn't happen. here's your trivia for today. the last time law makers got the budget done on time was 1994 and only reason it happened that year i remember well. democrats got all their work done and out of town fast. they were worried about losing in the elections. didn't matter. the vote is going on right now to finish up the budget for this year. that should be approved. it embraces those automatic budget cuts. but it does give the military, the boarder patrol, the fbi, nasa and a few other agencies a bit more wiggle room and move
7:50 am
money around within their budget. that's just about to get approved. it was voted on and approved last night. >> so those are some of the winners getting the wiggle room. what about the losers? there's problems apparently for the faa. >> reporter: yeah, the faa, there was an effort to amend the bill, this budget bill to move money around within the faa budget so over 200 different air traffic control towers at smaller airports would not have to be shut down as soon as april the 7th. for whatever reason it was never really delineated and explained. the obama administration opposed it. if that had been on the floor, probably would have gotten 85 or 90 votes. for whatever reason, the democratic leadership would not agree so it never came up. they did not get extra wiggle room. also republicans brought up a plan that would have moved around $2 million and allowed
7:51 am
the white house to remove public tours. the democrats voted against that. so a little politicking from both sides as to what was being picked and how the winners and losers came out. >> now we have 2013 settled we can look ahead to 2014. any progress in that regard? >> yeah. voted 221-207 to approve the outline for next year. i don't like to call it a budget. it's just an outline that lays out the basics for what they want to do. the senate will have to approve their own outline. the democrats relying on a trillion dollars in new tax increases. republicans with zero in the way. they envision the gop getting rid of the spending. the democrats do not. i don't know where those two plans come together. these votes on the budget outline for next year, they are nonbinding and never have to be signed by the
7:52 am
president and starts the work in getting the budget bills done. >> and they are about to go on easter break. just got back from easter break. >> as i look up at the tv only 30 seconds left. the most dangerous place in america will be down the steps just outside the capitol here as the members jump in their cars and runoff to the airports. and won't have to be back until the week. >> stay safe. thank you. and you can find a link to jamie's washington insider blog on our web site. go to ktvu.com and pull down the news menu bar and politics page. >> right obama is back in israel after spending the morning with palestinian leaders in the west bank. president obama is making a speech. before the israeli people at the jerusalem convention center. let's listen.
